I was excited to go to The Metropolitan Museum of Art because it is my first time going to a museum. The museum was gorgeous and crowded and I ended up staying for three hours. I checked out the Asian section of the museum which consists of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and some I did not visit.The similarities of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese antiques are very noticeable. From vases, clothing, writings, drawings, and much more are similar. The one that caught my attention was the statue of Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara or known as Guan Yin in China. I found out that the Guan Yin statue originated from Shanxi province during the Northern Qi dynasty (550-77) and was made from sandstone. The statue was so beautiful I can not resist the urge to take a selfie. After doing some research, I learned that Guan Yin is also present in many countries besides India and China. Since Buddhism spread to many countries in Asia, in Cambodia he/she is called Lokesvark; in Japan, he/she is called Kanzeon. Depending on the culture, Guan Yin can be male or female. Like any Bodhisattva, Guan Yin is someone who has the power to reach nirvana, but their journey was slowed down to save suffering people. The reason I like Guan Yin because he/she is the personification of Mercy and Compassion and saves people.
